In the days prior to this, the members of the TRCSL along with Director General Senanayake also attended a meeting with Raveen Wijayatilake and his team, in order to discuss the internet connectivity issues faced in Sri Lanka and how they can be improved for Esports athletes in the country. During this discussion, the TRCSL was provided feedback from the gaming and Esports community, from both a casual gamers and an Esports athletes perspective.
It was made evident that the biggest limitation for Esports talent in Sri Lanka to develop their abilities and break through to larger tournaments on a regional and international level was due to latency issues among other things. After hearing the issues faced by the community, the TRCSL committed to investigating on how they can work with and support local Internet Service Providers (ISP) to improve the connectivity experience for gamers in Sri Lanka.
